Mabel Makun, the wife of popular Nigerian comedian AY Makun, has shared an unclear yet telling message on her Instagram.
Her post comes shortly after AY’s own public statement addressing the couple’s personal challenges and the spread of misinformation.
Mabel’s Instagram caption reads: “Distance is my new response to disrespect. I don’t react, I don’t argue, I don’t dive into the drama. I simply remove myself.”
This statement appears to be a declaration of her coping mechanism in the face of disrespect, possibly hinting at her approach to the ongoing marital issues.
The couple’s relationship has been under intense scrutiny following a series of events that suggested trouble in paradise.
Earlier this year, Mabel voiced concerns over threats to her life and unfollowed AY on Instagram, fueling rumors of a split.
AY later confirmed the speculations, admitting to personal flaws that have affected their 20-year marriage.

AY’s statement highlighted his reluctance to entertain the public with deep personal family issues. He acknowledged his and Mabel’s imperfections and the complex dynamics of assigning blame within the narrative of victimhood often portrayed in the media.
Mabel’s response, devoid of direct confrontation or argument, suggests a preference for maintaining a respectful distance from the drama.
Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, married his wife Mabel in November 2008. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Michelle, and after 13 years, they were blessed with a second child, Ayomide, in January 2022.
